1. SCAM
2. All in all a very poorly executed phishing mail. "This is to inform you that you have won a prize money " not very good english is it for a multi million pound company. giving away 1/2 million every month to poepl who didnt put any money into lottery, which is incidently illegal in UK. another line "2.WINNERS CHEQUE OF £500,000.00 GB-Pounds." we use the term sterling here not GB pounds. But if you are interested I am a neglected nigerian prince with ten milion GB sterling looking for an honest western bank account etc etc.
3. If anything is asking for your personal information... it's not real. And do NOT give that info out!
